Adobe InDesign CS4 Server

Do you need InDesign Server?

Organizations that produce professional-looking printed content are usually familiar with Adobe® InDesign® CS4 software. Adobe partners have also created simple Variable Data Publishing (VDP) and personalization solutions based on the desktop application.

While these desktop tools work well for many applications, at some point you may need a more robust solution or one tailored more closely to your needs. This is especially true if you require scalability or a high degree of server-based reliability.

InDesign CS4 Server software is designed to provide these specialized capabilities. Unlike the desktop version, InDesign Server does not offer a built-in interface. Rather, you or your development partner create one using technologies such as Adobe Flex® or Flash® software, Java™, Adobe AIR™, or HTML. InDesign Server has also been rigorously tested to provide continuous uptime on Mac OS X Server and Windows® Server operating systems. It can even scale as your requirements grow, with the ability to add multiple instances on multiple CPUs.

In less technical terms, InDesign CS4 is a perfect tool for creating engaging documents. InDesign CS4 Server builds on those capabilities and enables you to create solutions that manage your brand and document production across multiple platforms and geographies. It provides these solutions with the same rigorous control and professional design quality normally achieved with the desktop version of InDesign.
